undecide fate, Dionne Newman [fb2 epub reader txt] 📗

framed her face, big blue eyes that glittered under the fluorescent lights; she was tanned and had a few freckles. “Hey babe” said a good looking guy with sandy coloured, flopping hair. I smiled at both of them. Chantelle turned on the boy fiercely “Daniel, you honestly don’t need to call every girl you see babe, ok” she snapped at him, then more calmly “ but its ok for you to call me it, I don’t mind hun” she crooned softly at him. The boy cowered back slightly and went a deep shade of pink, nodding his head. “Hi what’s your name newbie” he asked me. “That’s better” she murmured gently at him with a satisfied smile on her face. “I’m Claire Bails” I smiled at him “umm, cool” he replied uncertainly, giving a quick glance at Chantelle who was nodding at him but still was looking at him with a slightly stormy expression on her face. “This is Daniel”, she said pointing at the sandy haired boy “this,” pointing to a boy with sallow skin the shade of chocolate “is Baljan Carmeec, he’s sort of quiet and dorky, but he helps with my all my homework, so to me he’s a total doll”. “You don’t speak much do you” she asked. “Umm, yeah, I’m just trying to get sorted y’know” .i noticed that the sandy haired boy was staring at me, nervously I smiled at him unfortunately Chantelle saw this and swung round to him glaring. If looks could kill I swear that boy would be six feet under, for the rest of the class we were quiet with Chantelle throwing looks as if she was suspicious that I’d go for her man, truthfully I wasn’t interested in him and I intended to tell her but as soon as the bell rang she grabbed her purse and dragging Daniel by the arm sped out of the classroom and off down the hall. I gathered my new equipment and stowed it away neatly in my bag, I felt soft skin brush my hair out of my ace and a minty, cool breath on the side of my neck. I looked up slightly knowing who it was by the soft touch from that hand but reassuring myself I gazed into Zachary’s eyes and felt like melting. Silently he led me out of the class; walking down the hallway his hand kept brushing against me just below my back, I wasn’t sure if it was on purpose or completely accidental but I moved away from his reach. He looked at me his gentle face clouded over, his eyes no longer caring and sweet brown but now cold and a deep red colour replaced the melting caramel. His lips drew back revealing sharp teeth, drool sliding down the side of his mouth. He grabbed me fiercely and pushed me against a wall. It was only now I realized the swarming crowd had stopped, they were still there but somehow they were frozen on the spot, some frozen in mid chatter, others expressions like carved statues. Zachary’s hand flew up in a blur and grabbed me by the throat, it was sudden and unexplainably strong as if someone had dropped a weight on my throat, I felt lights popping behind my eyes and I heard a strange gurgling sound like water trapped in a fountain spout trying to get out, the strange sound surprised me as I realized that it was coming from my very mouth. Zachary’s free hand flew up and swiped itself across my check. I felt the hot blood trickling down my face and a burning sensation from the fresh cut. Zachary stuck out his tongue which was odd, it wasn’t pink, soft and rounded it was black, leathery and had a sharp point like a blade, slowly his sharp tongue touched my face and swept up the blood from the side of my cheek, I heard him groan with ultimate satisfaction and felt my eyes fill up as I took what I knew would be my last breath I saw a shadow up in front of me and it was moving. I felt overjoyed. Zachary seeing my glee looked over his shoulder recoiling, his hand shot away from my neck and pressed himself against the wall beside me as I fell in a heap on the ground. The figure was standing in front of us now, he was stunning with muscles showing through his clothes and beautiful burnished auburn hair gleaming like copper he looked like an angel. Suddenly everyone in the hallway resumed their movement and within seconds I was covered with a murmuring crowd surrounding me from every side I saw the figure edge away smiling, he turned and started off down the corridor, as he turned a corner and went out of sight. I wondered what had just happened moments ago the crowds were frozen and I was moments away from being murdered by Zachary or was I. Maybe it was all in my head, maybe I was going around the bend. I saw Zachary his eyes flashed a bright red and suddenly everything went dark…
